Verse 1.9.20 (--- Mji):
* We need to remember that Krishna is our Supreme Lord, and that our duty is to completely serve Him all the time. As a grhasta too, we need to serve family and devotees ...
* From NOI, pure devotional service ...
* As a blazing fire can burn any amount of fuel into ashes, similarly pure DS unto the Supreme Lord will burn down all impurities down to ashes.
* Krishna remained with the Pandavas due to their love, friendship and their service attitude towards the Lord.
* In this verse, Bhishmadeva is trying to get Yudhistira Maharaj out of the illusion that although Krishna might appear like a cousin to him, but He is actually the SPG.


Verse 1.9.19 (Shrawan):
* Essential point: Tribulations will be there, the Lord gives them as His mercy. As a devotee, our devotion must only increase with the trials and tribulations the Lord presents to us, since we know that He gives everything for our ultimate good only.
